How to measure something that cannot be seen?

The effect of test automation can be difficult to measure. The importance of test automation for an organization is often implicit – an improvement in software quality that is difficult to quantify in numbers. What is the increase in bug rates about software quality? It can tell you that software developers have begun carelessness and therefore bugs run more into the testing phase. However, it can also tell you that the bugs are being found more efficiently, they have not been detected before. Over-sharing an individual meter can mislead.
